They came close though. dust would be a huge factor come The course was similar in char-race morning unless the scanty acter to that used for the past four clouds developed into some kind years at the Primm, with a few changes in actual trail, but no change in type or difficulty. It was silty, rocky and as one driver put it, had "only about 20 miles of fun road." The quicker classes ran four laps on the 70 mile loop, and Classes 3, 9, 7S, 11, Stock Mini, Stock Full and Sportsmen all ran only three laps. The time limit was r I hours for everyone. The Trophy Trucks were first to start, and Brian Collins, first of that group in his Chevy, promptly set about recording the fast lap for the day, a very swift 1:09:43, thanks to the lack of dust in front of him. Following him, just a bit over a minute back, was the all-wheel-drive Ford of Tim and Ed ~ ,,.,.# :><~.,,;;,i. ... . ~ ---. Cisco Bio, age 18, soloed in his Tubular Designs chassis (seen here with the Buffalo Bill's roller coaster in the background) to win in Class 9 by about two-and-a-half minutes. Herbst, in second, while Mark Post ran third in his Ford. Glen Greer, who'd entered his Protruck in the TT class at the last minute, was broken and out before he could get a full lap in. Collins broke his transmission on the second lap, while Post lost some alternator belts. And while they made repairs, the Herbsts moved into the lead, about 14 minutes up on Post and well over an hour on Collins. But it wasn't Collins' day at all, and shortly af-ter the trans was fixed and he was moving again, a front arm broke. So they trailered the truck, leav-ing Post and the Herbst boys out there all by themselves. No one was having a really good day. Post, who handed over to Jerry Whelchel midway through the day, lost more alter-nator belts, and also a drive shaft. But on the third lap the Herbsts lost about an hour and 20 min-utes. They later said that for the day they had four flats , a broken tie rod, two alternator replace-ments, a broken front heim and a drive shaft replacement. And at the finish line they said something was broken "in the front and we don't know what it is." Whelchel got in one pretty good lap, but after their first lap the Herbsts had no clean runs. Post and Whelchel finally got their first Trophy Truck win, finishing sixth over-all, with the Herbsts finishing as the second Trophy Truck, very late in the day for them. Class 1 had a considerably more successful day. But it looked a little grim on the first lap when six of them failed to get the lap finished. Of those who made it, Troy Herbst had the lead in his Ford powered Smithbuilt Truggy, which still wears the marvelous shark face body on its hood and side panels. He was about two minutes in front of Dale Ebberts in Josh Waddell's Honda powered Chenowth Millennium, and about a minute and a half behind him was Jeff Quinn in his Porsche powered Jimco. In fourth place it was Marking, another minute back, and followed by Pat Dean in a Chevy Chenowth. Everyone else was within a few minutes, except for Dale and Mike Dondel in their Nye Frank chassis, who were having overheating trouble and Ron Brant in a relatively small Porsche powered Aceco, who was tossing power steering and alternator belts with some regularity. Herbst stayed in front through the second lap, and now Ebberts was gone, for unknown reasons, and Marking had moved into sec-ond, about three minutes back. In third it was Dean, with Quinn now fourth and Gus Vildospla had his Toyota poweredJimco 2000 in fifth. Another four ·cars had dis-appeared, leaving only 13 run-ning. Seen here making twin rooster tails of the typical Nevada silt, Sandy Tabler and John Christian, from Oklahoma, took the win in the Sportsman class. Greg Horr had a perfect day in his Class 11 VW sedan, not even getting stuck in the many silt beds of the tough course. He soloed to the win. On the third lap another three went away, including Dondel, who gave it up, unable to solve the problem. When he tried to make repairs later in the day (thinking to enter the MDR night race that evening in Barstow) , he discovered the radiator was plugged by sand. Now Herbst also had problems, and lost over an hour when an unknown some-thing in the transmission let go. They did a tranny replacement, but dropped to about ninth place. Stan Potter and Dan Worley (Jimco) lost some time with a burnt plug, but finished third in the SCORE Lite class after the closest race of the day.

Shane Brown and Andrew Lindquist did their last lap with no rear brakes, but still managed to take a nice second in Class 10, only three minutes down to the winner. Arden Dennington noses off the awkward first jump in the infield section Eric and Jared Hardin lost about 20 minutes on their last lap, and in his Suspensions Unlimited car. He rolled over later on, but survived brought their GMC 7S truck to the finish about 20 minutes off the Marking had put Sourapas in for the last two laps, and he now held the lead, with Quinn's co-driver, Mike Nix in second place, only three minutes later. In third it was Gus Vildosola's co-driver, Charles Watters, and Gary Weyhrich's co-d river, Charlie Townsley, was fourth in their Chenowth, then Randy and Rick Wilson in their V 4 powered J imco were fifth. There were only another five still going. Dean had tranny linkage trouble, got stuck .in third gear, then rolled the car and was done for the day. Things didn't change much on the last lap, except that Vildosola and Watters came to grief. Soura-pas and Marking, who'd had a "little ignition problem" early in the day, had no other trouble, beyond the dust, and ticked off another steady lap to take the win, and the overall. Quinn and Nix, who said it "got a little hairy" when the throttle was sticking, also had some ignition problems, but no flats, and finished only a little over two minutes later. In third it was Weyhrich and Towns-ley who'd had a few flats, and then the Wilsons, who'd also had a couple of flats, were fourth, fol-lowed in by Tim Rockenbach, who drove all the way in his Jimco. He had a rear flat early and it tore up his rear brakes, so he drove the rest of the way without them. Quite a feat to finish fifth. Herbst ticked off the fast lap for the class on his last lap, at 1: 12:06, and moved up to finish seventh. Vildosola and Watters didn't get the lap done, and in fact, only nine of the 23 starters made it all the way. The Class 8 trucks were next to take the green flag. Jesse Jones, in a Chevrolet, put himself into the lead by the end of the first lap, and he had 10 minutes on Rich-ard Wiseman in another Chevy. Wiseman was eight minutes up on Billy Goerke in the Brian Collins Chevy. Ari Kreiss, from way down south in Caho San Lucas, had a four hour first lap, Dennis McCar-thy used up over three hours and Ed Lazzari was two and a half hours getting his Chevy around -to finish second in Class 1-211600. pace in second place. Michael James soloed the race in his Class 5 car, ran a perfect day, andtook the win handily, almost two hours in front of second place. the track. On the second lap Goerke re-corded the fast time for this class, at 1:26:06, while Jones lost about nine minutes, and Jones hung onto his lead, but had only about a minute and a half on Goerke at the end of the lap. Wiseman was third, about a half hour later. Sadly, Jones didn't get any more laps in, and Lazzari was also out by now. Goerke and his co-driver, Keith Underwood, who'd sat in the passenger seat for the first two laps, had a firm lead af-ter a good third lap, and Wiseman moved up to second, but about an hour and a half back. Goe~ke and Underwood, who were both in the car the whole time, took the win, doing their four laps in six hours and 14 min-utes, and claiming only two flat tires to mess up their day. None of the others could get that fourth lap in. Kreiss ran out of time, but Wiseman and McCarthy seem to have had terminal problems on Lap 4. The Protrucks started next, and they had better luck than the Class 8 trucks. Bob Shepard put his Chevrolet into the lead, but was only eight seconds ahead of Ryan Herzog in a Ford. Rich Hoff-man, driving in only his third event in this Chevrolet, ran third, about two minutes later. Chet ..,,..=-,.,,---===,......,..~---==""="= Tom Ridings and Brian Parkhouse, in a Mirage, had a hard fight all day, ended up with the SCORE Lite win by a very narrow two seconds. Billy Goerke and Keith Underwood shared the riding and driving in their Chevy, and with almost no problems, were the only survivors in Class 8, taking the victory and finishing 20th overall. Huffman had his Ford in fourth a few minutes back, and Scott Steinberger used up over four hours to get his Ford around the first time. On the second lap Shepard, who says he raced bikes for 25 years before turning to trucks, had the quick time for this group at 1:23:45. He built his lead to about five minutes, although his carbu-retor was loading up in the rough stuff, and it was still Herzog in second, and Hoffman third. Huff-man broke a pitman arm and lost about a half hour, while Steinberger's second lap was pretty quick, just about three hours too late. Shepard ran another good lap and stayed in front, and Herzog put Grayson Smith into his truck, and they held second place by about four minutes. Huffman's co-driver, Greg Lewin (who long ago co-drove with our late Pub-lisher, Jean Calvin, was fourth and had broken a hub and had carb trouble. Steinberger was still running well, but late. Shepard, whose laps were all within four minutes of one an-other, ticked off a fine last lap to get the victory.

Gregory ran third, another nine minutes back and Robert Gutierrez, who'd taken over for Ruben, was up to fourth, less than two minutes be-hind him. Daniel Gutierrez ran fifth, and everyone else had dropped out. On the last lap Gasper re-corded the quick time for the class, at 1:44:29, cementing the team's lead and they took the win by 20 minutes. Orellana was sec-ond, and eight minutes behind him came Gregory, followed in by the Ruben and Robert Gutierrez team and then Daniel Gutierrez, fifth and last. Class 3 was required to run only three laps, and they took off next, four strong, and all four were destined to finish. Darren Skilton plut his Kia Sportage, newly painted changeable green, into the lead right off, with Kirk Kovel in his winged Bronco, about a half hour back in second place. Kovel had got off to a late start in the morning, due to carburetor problems, and was unable to get his motor 'to run over 3000 rpms. Jim Winovitch ran third, another 13 minutes back in his Isuzu Amigo, and Clive Skilton ran third in his Jeep, down a couple of hours after some problem.

Winovitch was third, another hour back, and Clive Skilton re-corded the fast lap for the class, at 1:54:21 on the second lap and moved himself to within three minutes of fourth place. Darren got back into the driver's seat and the Kia had a good third lap, ex-cept for a flat tire about three miles before the finish. They took the win with an hour and 24 min-utes to spare.

Only two drivers, Mike Beasley and Arturo Velazco, had dropped out of the running. Mark Post and Jerry Whelchel teamed up in their Ford Trophy Truck, had trouble with alternator belts, but got their first win in this class. Sam Shepard did all the driving in his Chevrolet Protruck, had four very evenly paced laps and went home the winner. Bio had no problems, though he said that when the faster cars passed him there was so much dust that he "had to stop a few times." He also said he was "real cautious" and didn't get hit. He went on to take the win, followed in by Fisher, last year's champion, just under three minutes later, after three very evenly paced laps.

They also had some carburetor problems, but had no flats, and stayed in front to take the win.

30TH WRC.RALLY NEW ZEALAND Granholm Grabs The Win! By Martin Holmes Photos: Maurice Selden Marcus Gronholm missed a bit of the road in his Peugeot but it didn't slow him much and he went on the take first overall in New Zealand. Peugeot scored their second win of the WRC 2000 series, as far away as possible from their first win, which was in Sweden. It was the first time the team ·had been here in 14 years, and they won! Colin McRae was pressing hard on the last day but a short spin kept him in the second spot, 14 seconds behind Granholm. For quite a while Richard Burns had been very close also but both he and his teammate Juha Kankkunen stopped on the final day in the same place with power steering and en-• gine problems. Subaru, Mitsu-bishi and SEAT all lost both cars. Hyundai moved up a step with Eriksson finishing fifth and teammate Alister McRae scored their first fastest Spe-cial Stage time. The first event in the sec-ond half of the 2000 FIA World Rally Championship season, the Rally New Zealand, is a gravel stage event; held in the winter, usu-ally in cool and wet conditions on highly cambered closed public roads. It was summed up nicely by Ford, "The Net-work Q in mid season" and by Mitsubishi, "Sweden, without the snow!" From the pleasure of mid summer-in Europe, the world championship rally team moved to the other end of the globe, New Zealand for the eighth round of the 2000 world championship. Forget the warmth and the long light evenings in Europe, when this Australasian rally is held, the daylight· is gone by six in the evening. But despite the un-favorable change in climate, Rally New Zealand offers unique and exciting chal-lenges to the rally world. Notwithstanding the gravel surfaces, the stages are smooth and undamaging. The highly profiled camber-of the roads creates a special demand on suspension systems, particu-larly on the twisty sections. The surfaces can also be treacherous for drivers seeking good traction if they stray from the clearly marked tracks once the stones have been swept aside. So marked in this effect that drivers have nar-row and precisely defined dua-1 lines of clear track into which they must place their tires. These strips of track possess remarkably good grip, until the· moment the tires stray onto the loose gravel beside them. The tracks appear to be friendly, with the banking ef-fect from the positive camber making the approach to cor-ners a lot faster than ex-pected, but extreme caution is the word on the advance cam-ber exiting the turns. Subaru's lead in the FIA Manufacturers title race had been reduced to 11 points af-ter the Acropolis rally al-though Richard Burns still led the Drivers series by 14 points. Four drivers were fighting for second place, all within on~ point of each.other. This rally is the only World Champion-ship Rally to double up with an FIA regional series in 2000, in this case the Asia-Pacific Rally Series. The big news was the teams concern about receiving their equipment, which was coming by ship. And what a trip it had been! The equipment had been dispatched from Argen-tina in May. The freighter originally hired was resched-uled, a second ship had an ac-cident, and a third ship had engtne trouble and was de-layed by storms at Sydney. Fi-naHy the containers arrived in Auckland on the 6th of July and within three hours had been released by the Customs, Officials, cutting it very close for the crews to get on with their work. This year's rally had a one time, quick deal sponsorship by a pharmaceutical company marketing a male hair loss pre-ventative product so the rally was aptly named the Propecia Rally New Zealand. The 59 km lqng Stage 12 is the long-est stage to be held in WRC rallY,ing since the stage short-ening measures of 1986. This was the only novelty in the route this year. The roads wind around farm land in gen-tly rolling hills south of Whangari. The route is based around service park locations. On the northern loop, the ser-vice park was at a railroad yard where special trains took spectators to vantage points on nearby stages. . Rain had been the talking point in the weeks before the rally. Over four inches fell on the stages in the north in one day and the wet weather lasted for over three weeks. By the time the drivers were pre-running the course everything had dried up. The forecast was for wind and dry on Friday and Saturday it was going to be wet. Leg 1 - 8 Stages, gravel, 11 7 kms. The Rally officially started on the Thursday evening with a run from the City Hall in Auckland to an overnight pare ferme. The performances on the first day were to be completely depen-dent on the inverse starting order and dry weather was go-ing to be terrible for the first drivers on the stages. The starting·sequence was: Burns, McRae, Granholm, Makinen, Sainz, Kankkunen, Auriol, Loix, Gardemeister and Dele-cour. In the first two stages of the day Burns had fallen 1 7 .5 seconds behind the leader, Delecour. After four stages and suffering from a broken intercom he was over half a minute behind. One driver who was not having troubles was Granholm and Colin McRae was close behind him. Right from the start the Peu-geots had been in great form, running first and second and the three Fords were next in line. The first stage was 3 2 kms long and was very fast. Tony Gardemeister was out. He had to stop to change a tire then a few kms later he left the road and badly ro!Jed his SEAT. Katsuhika Taguchi slid gently off the road and was stuck with an undamaged but immovable car and so retired. Both Hyundais suffered an identical loss of boost pressure which did not recur in the shorter stages. Auriol had a wastegate problem with his SEAT which severely' hampered engine/throttle re-sponse. Freddy Loix's brakes were overheating and he was 15 seconds slower than his team-mate, Makinen who was un-happy with his car. Next to come was a series of shorter stages south of Rag-land. Delecour was trying hard but on Stage 3 he slid a bit wide and punctured a tire. Colin McRae fell back when his Focus's wastegate failed near the end of Stage 3 and Burns Manfred Stohl and Peter Manfred Stohl and Peter Muller were the '--------------------------' dropped from sixth to eighth with the intercom problem. Makinen was having all sorts of troubles: his tires were too soft and halfway through Stage 2 the transmission started acting up: "The rear of the car would break away as soon as I accel-erated." Being in ninth place and 42 seconds behind was se-rious for the world champion. Auriol also had tires that were too soft and his engine was down on power. Loix lost some time when he spun. In Group N, the big surprise was the pace of Australian Cody Crocker in his Subaru, winning three of the first four stages in his cat-egory. Stohl was running sec-ond and New Zealander Chris West was in third. T re lies was having brake troubles and they were busy trying to correct the pr-oblem. The ravages of the Whaange Coast sta·ge (5) once again did their worst for the tires. Most of the top five drivers com-pleted Stages 5 and 6 with bald tires. Makinen's differential changes after Stage· 4 didn't have the desired effect and now he felt sure the suspension was out of kilter. Loix said his car was behaving badly, "It feels like it is in two wheel drive!" Top New Zealander driver Pos-sum Bourne lost boost pressure in his hydraulic system, Alister McRae also lost boost pressure and Eriksson's tires were down to the canvas. And Delecour still led. The two final stages of the day were run at the figure eight super special at Manukau where smashed windshields were the talk of the day. Burns' windshield was damaged by stones thrown by Colin McRae and he in turn broke Makinen's windshield. Delecour broke Mc Rae's glass and Bournes was broken by Arai. Eriksson's car was understeering and Makinen's Lancer was not han-dling well. Auriol was having gearshift problems. In F2, Simon Evans was go-ing gamely on despite tire prob-lems. David Black's Nissan had gearbox failure, Craig Marshall's Peugeot broke a driveshaft and Korean driver, Park, retired his Accent with overheating. In Group N, Crocker had to ease up in the dust of a slower driver, letting Al Wahaibi win the category on Stage 6 but the Australian was still 30 seconds ahead. Trelles was sixth and working hard at it. Leg 2 - 9 Stages, gravel, 176 kms. The running order was now in classification order and now was the time to try and gain back lost time.

Mike Rix was first to start in Class 9 and he drove like a man possessed. He had a two minute lead after Lap 1, opened that up to five min-utes on Lap 2 and continued opening his lead as each lap continued. By the end of Lap 4 his lead was over six min-utes and it looked like it was all over, and it was, all over for Mike as he had problems on Lap 5 and that was the end of his day. Tyler Peter-October 2000 Steve Landis made his debut with MORE and did it in fine fashion, taking the Trophy Challenge win by 22 minutes. son was next off and he was second after a lap, dropped to third on Lap 3, down to fourth on Lap 4 and then he too disappeared from the fray with a broken tranny. Rob-ert Stapp was next up, fin-ished the first lap in fourth place, moved into third place on Lap 2 and held that posi-tion on Lap 3. On the fifth lap Stapp was in a dead heat with Jeff King for second, moved into a solid second at the end of six laps. Front end problems were taking their toll as Stapp dropped to third after Lap 7, hung in that po-sition 'til the last lap when he went back into second and th.at's where he finished. Jeff King was next off the line and he finished the first lap in fifth place, ditto the sec-ond lap, then he turned it on. At the end of the fourth lap he was tied for fourth place, on the fifth he was tied for third, held third all alone on Continued on oaoe 22 Steve McMullin was the Class 10winner, bya long way and he was just 10seconds out of the overall win at the MORE Badlands 250. Brad Inch turned fast and consistent lap times at the Badlands 250 and it got him a great win in the 1600 class. Dusty Times

October 2000 again after the seventh lap, out of the race with problems unknown.to us. Steve Mc-Mullin was second off the line in Class 10 and Steve wanted the class win but he also wanted the overall in the worst way. He took the Class 10 right from the start and was never in any danger of losing that trophy. As to the overall picture, Steve was two minutes in arrears, Lap 2 he was three and a half minutes out of the lead, Lap 3 it was five and a half, Lap 4 he had cut it down to a half minute, Lap 5 he was in the overall lead by half a minute, Lap 6 he was nine minutes. behind, Lap 7 he was just a minute out, Lap 8 they were virtually tied, Lap 9 he lost a minute and when the check-ered flag fell Steve lost tl1e overall by 10 seconds! A great race by both contend-ers and appreciated by all. Class 1/2-1600 was next and Brad Inch was the first car to start. Brad lost a bit of time on the first lap and was in third place going into Lap 1. Brad moved into second on thesecondlap,andinsecond he stayed through Lap 6, but on the seventh lap Brad went into the lead and there he re-mained to the checkered flag. His winning margin was just under half an hour. Ray Wright left next, running in fourth place on the first lap, moved to third cm Lap 2 and stayed third· 'ti! Lap 7 when ' he moved into a tie for sec-ond. Ray stayed in second to the flag and was happy with his finish. Steve Hav-er was off next and Steve turned a good fast lap, had some severe sus-pension troubles on Lap 2 and then disappeared from the charts. Jimmy Hooks was next to go, but the gods weren't smiling on Jimmy this day as he had a very long first lap and then he too was seen no more. Jimmy Messick was next off the line in his brand new car and his car bit him a few times during the race. Jimmy had a horrendously long first lap, another bad one on the third lap but the rest of them were pretty fast and on his eighth lap he set fast lap for the race, regardless of class, of 25 :59. Way to go Jimmy! And so it ended, the Bad-lands 250 is in the books. See ya in the desert! ■ Dusty Times

Sorry for the confusion and remember the first place 9 car receives $2,500 in cash. Back to racing, there was a variety of fast cars this week-end starting with six Class 1 starters. Everett Paul in his new Kordonowy built single seater had the honors of start-ing this parade of four l 00 mile laps across the Yerington desert. Soon into his virgin drive he broke a right CV put-ting him down early, never re-covering, and did not finish a lap. After Paul left early that left five and in early for the first lap was Berri with a lap time of I :51 :51. Right on his tail was the V-4 powered Jimco ot Kevin Ohnstad as he followed Berri's dust in and recorded an even faster lap of 1 :51 :08. Todd Denton in a nice looking Toyota powered gem followed closely only three minutes back. Jeff Stiles in that trusty Red Raceco was only nine minutes back, but that would be as far as he got this Sunday. Jerry Wald with his lovely wife were plunging through the desert and had some early downtime and had to make up nearly an hour. Lap 2 added some excite-ment as the Berri and Ohnstadduel intensified. Ohnstad was able to slip by Berri and recorded the fast lap for the day at 1:47:59, which is a 56 mile an hour clip. No t bad. Berri, a model for consis-tency, ran his fast lap of his day at 1:50:10, but still was three minutes down on the clock. Denton stayed strong losing a little of time, but was still third. The Walds still ·--w ... were fourth, but a couple of flats added to a long day. On Lap 3 Ohnstad's magic went away with some down-time and he wouldn't be able to complete the last lap finish-ing third. However, Berri stayed strong and maintained a comfortable margin over Denton by 10 plus minutes and took the overall prize. Denton kept all four wheels on the floor· and finished a nice sec·ond. Ohnstad got third, Wald had a long day and could not scratch out the final lap and fourth was the best he could go. On to the nice Class 10 crop of seven strong. Floyd and Mike Haas brought their older Jimco out again this year and set the stage with a seven minute advantage on Lap 1 over points leader Tom Spitler. Steve Bradford fol-lowed closely in tive minutes behind Spits. Next in was Terrie Tavis with help from her husband in her brand new Class 10 car purchase. She bought the two seat Sway-A-Way car. Following closely be-hind Tavis was Ron Foster, then Father-Son duo of Rich-ard and Ryan Lesher. Bill Smith and Brad Falin received the green flag and that was it, ending their day very quickly. To set the stage for the halfway point, the Haas' were running strong, but trying to stretch the lead ran out of gas about 10 miles from the main pit and lost about 80 minutes in transit leaving the door wide open. Walking through tl:rat door was Spitler now run-ning ahead of the pack by a nice 16 minutes over second place Tavis. The Leshers were running good on their back~up motor and only four minutes back of Tavis.

After recording the fast lap for the day, at 1 :47:59, Kevin Ohnstad's Jeff Stiles, one of off-road's nicest people, had a less-than-wonderful Tom Spitler and Robby Zimmerman teamed up in their yellow and blue Class 10 car to lead most of the way, but ended up on the trailer, and were credited with 3rd in Class 10.

Gray was ex-pected next, but it was that yellow Chevy that was next, but the red Jeep of Scott in next about 30 minutes back. Seymor kept up the pace and got through the main pits in third and running strong. Fields came in fourth, but a long second lap and a longer third lap ended his day prema-turely and managed fourth for the day. Cope was next in and Gray followed up the lead on Lap 1 with a nice six hour lap and that was too much to overcome finishing his day with a DNF. Lap 3 saw Brager falling off and handing the lead for good to Scott who kept on plowing through the desert for a great win in the class. Seymor main-tained quick laps, but the Ford was not fast enough to catch Scott on this day and got the silver medal. Cope was the last on the podium after a roll-over on Lap 3. Fields, like I say, got fourth. Gray was fifth and Brager went first to worst and got sixth. The same old trio of the Creasy Brothers and Tom Hatch gave a run at the Class 9 trophy for the day. Forest Creasy got the pace going early with a two minute lead over brother John, even with a flat tire halfway through the first lap. Hatch had too much to drink and went tipsy around a tight turn and lost five min-utes putting the car back on its wheels.

WHIPLASH MOTORSPORTS Holbrook 200 By Tony Tellier Photos: Trackside Photo Bill Krug liked his new-to-him 1600 car, and went away with the win at the "modified" Whiplash Holbrook desert-event-turned-short-course. Cesar Makes Salad of Ari-zona "Ones" At the Whiplash "Holbrook 200", Juarez, (MX) gentleman racer Cesar Fuentes was in-deed the main man as he to-tally annihilated a small but muscular group of_ Unlimited cars. In the "Pro l" class there were two Chenowth Millenni-ums and two Jimco 2000s, all state-of-the-art and water-cooled - a Dos Scat V4 (Glen Greer), a Kirk Subaru fl.at six (Rueben Wood), a Fat Toyota 3.0L V6 (Brian Brown nee Johnny Herder) and Fuentes' awesome Castillo Nissan four cammer Chenowth. Fuentes was never challenged, he spanked them. Fuentes did not make a bobble or a mis-cue. Flag to flag, three races. Three wins; no challengers. But even more exciting was the 10 lap, no-holds battle be-tween Danny Sullivan's Chev-rolet and "8" Travis Williams in the Jesse Jones Ford. Their race pitted handling ability -Williams - vs. power -Sullivan -and featured bumping and banging for a full half hour of aggressive behavior and torn Fiberglas before Williams could gain the upper foot for the win. The unexpected monsoon .on Thursday drenched the 24 mile desert loop. "Under the bridges, the sands were 'quick'," said Jay McKinley. "Impassable; it would suck you right down." The 7,000 feet of red Navajo sandstone pre-vents any rapid .percolation of rain water so the stuff turns into long-lived red gumbo. An optional 12 mile loop could not be used as one property owner -no matter how ame-nable he had been -was out of town and unable to confirm the passage onto his property. A lot of course work went for naught. Holbrook, once called "The town too tough for women or churches", sprang into being a railroad town.· No kidding? The town boasts of "a famous (1887) shootout with cattle rustlers at the Blevins House. That historic house still stands, as does the 'Bucket of · Blood Saloon', where many a cowboy refreshed himself." The "Hashknife Gang" sold beverages at the race. I like the ring of that. Anyway, Whiplash was stuck, mired, so to speak, be-tween a rock and a soft spot. Jackie McKinley tried to call all of the pre-entered racers to advise them of the format change - a monumental task, in itself -Jay had littl_e choice other than to run the entire event within the Navajo County Fair Grounds, a two mile long course. There was, of course, a load of grumbling · -Tucson's Steve Kuker even loaded his Honda "13" back up! "I think that I can find my way around the course," he smiled. "But why waste a full prep for a few laps?" The races were scored "GP" style; when the first car com-pleted all of the required laps ·all cars were "finished." Two eight lap races were used to determine grid positions for the three ten lap Mains. The grouping was by Sportsmen; little Pros ("1600s", etc.), and big Pros ("10s", etc.). The first round of heats had the Pro Trucks running separately but it was mo' bettah when they ran them with the "Ones" and "Tens." Yeah. . Other DNS/DNE-ers were Rick Wiseman, who broke the bell housing, or the tall shaft, depending upon just when you talked to Mike Doherty, on_ the sister to the "Broken Back" car. Bilfy Tsakiris had his cute Ford out but declined to perform at the event. But after it was over and everyone recognized the quality of the racing there were big smiles. Oddly enough, only 15 out of the 42 starters could complete their main event! As this has been the third Cesar Fuentes (in the front car) put his Nissan powered Millennium into the victory circle every time, to go home the big winner. time that a Holbrook Whip-lash event has been hampered by the summer rains, next year the event will begin as a sta-· dium event. And who knows how that might expand. While Fuentrs admittedly made a shambles of the Unlim-ited race, Ron Dalke and Jeff Wells fought for the "Ten" crown to the bitter end. Equally exciting but much more visible was the Class 8 battle between Travis Will-iams and D anny Sullivan. Many people had never seen a truck ract that was even close; it's usually who broke and who didn't. Bikes, quadsters and car people alike were standing and cheering the action. Bill Krug's win over Jay Adams was no more than a few car lengths and the Sportsman battle between Bobby Altamirano and Scott Mills was not a fore·gone con-cl us ion. Todd Ford was a surprise(d) winner in "Chal-lenger" as his competitors self-destructed all around him. THE COURSE The course was connected straight-aways with five easy jumps. One was for the bleacher seats, where, the fol-lowing day some quads got to-gether in the a_ir and really smacked the outside wall. Oddly enough one of_ those three Pro riders was Shane Strunk. His dad, Bucky, a long-time quad racer, had be-come alerted to the "With age -you get a cage!" ad'age and is the first buyer of the "Preda-tor" Spec Truck. Dan Spencer-is making the "roller" and the venerable Flyin' Hi shop, at 42nd and Jefferson, is in line to do the tabs, wiring and what-not .. . Whiplash's Jay McKinley speaks about the Predator: 1. The rear axle is a Sandy Cone 40-spline 9" Ford with fo_ur piston brakes and a 5-1 /2" Cone billet hub. For simplicity, durability and economy in the long run, we are utilizing the same bearing carrier that Cone puts on the rear end. We're re-machining, heat treating, fabbing it to our kingpin assem-bly and, in the end, all four cor-ners will feature exactly the same carrier, hub and brakes. -2. The steering will be via a Howe T-T-style power rack. We found a stock Chevy pump that meets Howe specs and bolts right into the factory serpentine setup on the front of the LS 1 engine. 3. The tube chassis is 1-3/4", 0.120-wall chromoly with bat-winged front A-arms and plated rear arms. Engine setback is in the 24" range and the horse-power will go about 375. The modular pumpkin has high zoot 5.37 gears, which should make it about a 100 mile an hour truck. 4. The shocks will be 2-3/4" King coil carriers and 3" King bypasses, one of each on each corner. Anyway, two of the turns got very chewed up by the time the Mains came ai;-ound, for a bump steer check. The track watering was "as re-quired" and the course some-times was dusty and sometimes slimy. In spots. As Jay McKinley said it a t the Drivers Meeting, "If it's dark and shiny, stay off of it!" Next to the track was a double set of Santa Fe tracks. 7 39 freight trains came through Saturday night, blow-ing their "Herbst" horns at the grade crossing. Mostly real late at night. THE RACE SPORTSMAN H'eat 1 Race 1: Sportsman There were 12 Sportsmen cars, eight buggies, two mini-trucks, and two "5s" which were operating in the Unlim-ited ranks. Right from the git-go Bobby Altamirano's green four seat play car headed Dave Cookman's VW convert, with Brian Shugart's amazing "Trouble Maker" ( # 1255) and Scott Mills (Sportsman 10) in the line behind. Further back was Jeff Gilbert's "Sofa City Special" that led the "10" duo of Langford & Lloyd (#1275) and Jack Farmer (#1271). Grant Wilson and his nimble blue Bronco ran away with the Sportsman truck division, In the Sportsman 1 0 division, Scott Mills fought off the challengers and went home Mills, a Gila Bend "Mon-ster", is just shy of the magic Drivers License age and was driving the Miller and Mills single seater in· his first ever taking the victory _w_ith_ a_w_in_. _______________________ _ Page 28 October 2000 Dusty Times

Fifteen-year-old Brian Shugart, drove his "Trouble Maker", powered by a 600cc Honda motorcycle motor, to the Unlimited Sportsman win. race. Dad Bruce, just 33, said that "We let him go out at Gila Bend with some bald 'Yoks' and let him learn to slide." And th at he did. Cookman's "Cookie's Mon-ster" was out in front for a mo-ment o n Lap 2. Dave is much happier with his BIG Bilstein roll-overs up front, as the cl ual carbed VW was working like never before (meaning "good"). However good Cookman was running Shugart wasted no time in get-ting his little Honda CBR600 car past the entire field and split the program, working the 'cycle sequence shifter per-fectly. The Altamirano rig started smoking -it was originally said to be a cracked filler/breather cap -while Mills passed him, then bobbled at the corral "180", and lost his place in line. Scott could only watch and wait and hope for an en-gine failure. Which would not happen -right away, anyway. Eric Kinyon's #1351 "Lim-ited" (i.e. "9") cased the en-gine cage on the jumps and eventually lost the air cleaner while Dean Anderson's Dat-sun made painful noises upon landing. Dean's competitor, the Tom Fisher Toyota with the I-beams, bottomed the front end on every jump. Nice car, excellent workmanship; but a n unsatisfactory front end. It had HUGE amounts of re-bound -no damping a t all, or so it appeared. Tec h Note: Shugart's "Troub lemaker" was really built for t he Imperial Dunes!

Those busy Geisers built it from lay-around parts. "It was their pre-runner, but I am responsible for the green paint (on the frame)", Bobby confessed. "The car has dual pumpers fo r the four passengers and radio hook-ups for all." Mills, Cookman and the four seater went at it tooth and nail. Dave, sandwiched between the two, went wide as Altamirano tried the inside, liked it and cl usted Scott, but slid out on the sweeper as Dave closed on Mills. Mills missed a ;;hift but Cookman could not take advantage of the miscue and had to run in hi dust. Altamirano moved out to a large lead - a 1/4 mile - as Shugart stayed in the pits for suspension work. The four seater had no nets and was still pumping breather smoke, suggesting more than a cracked cap, huh? Main 1 Race 8: Sportsman The race was all Shugart, from "Go" to "Whoa." Period. Case closed. Cookman was ahead of Bobby Altamirano whose en-gine was now blowing oil big time and he pulled over with a bad motor. Cookman also pulled off -at Lap 8 -out of gas -leaving Sportsman 10 winner Scott Mills - was on the gas -hard -to try and run down Shugart but that was not a possiuility. Jeff Gilbert's "Sofa City" sounded as if its engine was going sour but he persevered and got second be-hind Shugart's Unlimited Sportsman win. (600ccs is "Unlimited"?) Sportsman 10 runner-up Jack Farmer (#1271) led Langford (#1275) who just could not make up time a nd eventually fell back out of touch. Mini-truck winner Dean Anderson took it easy, using numetous tie-downs to cinch his fuel cell into place. Tom Fisher lost the left rear spring pack bolt after the U-bolts loosened up.

The truck was built by Shelton Reeves in Las Vegas and purchased for a stolen "$5,500, after the best stuff was pulled out of the front end." Whiplash moved the Grant Wilson(# 1550) old style, AZ-plated Bronco into Sportsman truck against Chuck Sutherlin's F250. Chuck's truck is really well built but is saddled with an outdated "FE" engine -one of the heaviest production power plants ever installed into a contemporary vehicle. An "FE" could be anything from a 352cid to a 428 -all the blocks carry a "352" casting mark, so who re-ally knows? Chuck's truck would prove to be down on the horsepower-to-weight ratio against th,e little Bronco. Sutherlin and Wilson did have a terrific race, with the Bronco ever so slightly in the lead but never to be headed. Chuck could put a fender on Wilson but could not come out of the corners hard enough, taking the wide line in the wide car. Limited Sportsman winner Tim Hayosh: "We had a great time in spite of the major change in the course. Since this is the first year I have owned a race car, ev-erything is pretty new to me any-way.

During the race there was a great deal of talking on the inter-com as we coordinated passes. It would be felt to be a very bad thing to hook wheels. The Too/master Team is look-ing forward to Snowflake where once again the "Pros" and the "Sportsmen" are running at sepa-rate times. The video of the Class 8 battle is amazing!" The Kinyon/Traichel car -#1351 -"Bo Duke" and ''L'il Duke" - was running slow and pulled off for repairs or coun-seling. The car had no hand-hold for the co-driver, who was using the top rail. Ouch!

"It's that old gear-box," Mike shrugged. "New car blues." "Old car blues": Ray split to pits with a busted left rear damper. (Note: Ray also had this mishap at the "Vulture". What's wrong with this pic-ture?) The vaunted Billy Krug won his "Pro 1600" race in a new-to-him car over the Jay Adams two seater. Krug raced Randy Ross' old single seat Mirage -Bill had flipped his other car at the "Rock-to-Rock": "It was beat up too much - so I sold it to Jeff Knupp. Hell, I never won in that car! This one is narrower, lower and longer. I like it. Clare Ross reports: "Brian Magginis was Randy's partner. Race prep for the car was always done by On Track Service - it was prepped before Bill bought it. Brian and Ra1}dy raced it at Bar-stow in an MDR race last year with a "For Sale" sign on it.

Rob Archibald was the big win-ner at the late June FRT Tecate Gran Prix, which is sited in one of the nicest locations for an off road race seen anywhere. Fud, the CEO of the FRT, found a cattle ranch just a few moments south of the border crossing at Tecate, whose owner was delighted to invite the off roaders onto his property once a year. One big problem new for the FRT, was that after the course markings were all up and ready for the week ahead pre-run day, some turned up missing. It seemed that these cows have an appetite for course markings, just as those fur-ther down south do. But it wasn't a problem for race day, because by then their owner had them all properly corralled behind locked gates. The site is a combined ranch and quarry, situated just adjacent to and north of the toll road that runs from Tijuana to Mexicali. {It's a fairly stiff toll, at $5.25 per car, but there's also a toll free route.)

It seems he'd broken a valve adjuster while pre-running and had to hustle around to find a replacement part and get the car -running again. He'd started late, but the car seemed to be running well. ;?' >,.; :'·~~, ..... ··' . By the end of the second lap he'd passed Mauzy and was sec-ond, but then never showed up again. He dropped by to report that his engine had "grenaded" on the third lap. McGinley and Mauzy went on with no further excitement, to finish one and two. Rodd Fantelli ran two steady heats, stayed out of trouble and ended up taking the win in the Small Truck class. Jim McGinley led both his heats all the way, his neat blue 5-1600 performing flawlessly, to take the class win at the end of the day In the second heat there were only the two of them, and once again, McGinley got the lead. Mauzy seemed to be having prob-lems back-shifting. But they came around lap after lap, and once again, McGinley took the win, with Mauzy second. So, for the day it was McGinley and Mauzy, with Steingraber earning a DNF. The second race of the day was a combination of Class 100, Class 1/2-1600, Sportsman class and Class 5. Sadly, Richard Burn-worth, who used to run in Class 100, switched to Class 5 because it seemed th1:1t there would be more entries in that group. At this event, he was the only one to show in an Unlimited Baja Bug. But it was a good chance to test his new car, and he did just that, . having fun on the different type , of course and deciding that his 1835cc motor would need to be replac~d by something bigger for the next race. There was also on ly on e Sportsman car in this group, a 1776cc Class 100 single seat buggy belonging to Jesse Lopez, who was driving it for the first time. He managed to stay with the other · Pro Class 100 cars pretty well, and got a finish, but nearly came to grief between races. He was head-ing over to line up in staging when observant passers by noticed a cloud of smoke emanating from the rear of his car. It turned out an oil line had come off, and some helpful folks reattached it and tightened up the clamp, and then added oil for him, so he got to the start on time. But, while he showed improvement the second time out, and ran a bit more ag-gressively, he lost that oil line again, and also had brake prob-lems, so he lost a lap or two fixing his problems. Still, Lopez got a fin-ish on the record book for his first time out. In the Pro Class 100 ranks Mark Gilliland, in an old Raceco, was having a good duel with Ed Fries in a Chenowth. Gilliland managed to stay in front all the way, but had he goofed up just once, Fries would have been past him. Gilliland got the win with Fries second. In their second heat it looked the same with Gilliland taking the lead but now it was Andy Blue in the Chenowth and chasing hard. Gilliland's car wasn't at the peak of its form, and his gearing wasn't . the best choice, with too big a gap between second and third. Blue Mark Gilliland raced his red-flamed Raceco Class 100 car to the class win at Tecate, working hard to stay in front of a determined second place team. Kevin Graves displays his Jimco's smooth ride as he shoots up the wash to take the Class 1/2-1600 victory He won both heats. Dusty Times was slowly catching up. But at the end of the sixth lap they finished in the same order, Gilliland first and Blue second, only seven sec-onds behind him. Of course, Gil-liland had the victory for the day with the Fries/Blue team in SPC~ ond place. The 1600 cars, also running in this group, were led by Joe Hamner, in a Mirage, who was first on the road and 13 seconds up on Kevin Graves in his Jimco at the end of the first lap.

(' Northwest Club Rally Report Text & Photos: Jim Culp Greg Lingelbach and Steve Andrews splashed to the Production GT class wins in the June Northwest rallies. Two first time winners topped the podium in the Northern Pacific Division's June ClubRally events-Carey and Alan Wright dodged through the showers to win the Dryad Quest, while Kevin Pennington and Janice Damitio survived a downpour to claim the Shitepoke ClubRally. That makes five different winners in the six ClubRally _events held in 2000. Dryad Quest ClubRally The flying Wright brothers, Carey and Alan, parked their familiar Dodge Colt and stepped into Eric Eaton's Mazda 323 GTX for the Dryad Quest. Carey took one stage to master 4WD and then raced through the showers to a 26 second victory .. The Wrights finished that first stage tied for sixth, 15 seconds off the pace, but turned it on to post the fastest times on Stages 2, 3 and 4. Included in that string was the blazingly fast six mile stage called · "Mercury", where the Wright Mazda averaged 70 miles-per-hour in spite of two chicanes that slowed cars to a crawl. The Wrights "slowed" to a 55 miles-per-hour average on the 20 mile long stage named "Zeus" but continued to extend their lead. Second piace finishers Pennington and Damitio in the. Wagen Werks Audi 4000 Quattro turned the fastest times on the last two stages to narrow the gap. Dave Hintz and Doug Chase claimed the Group 5 title with a third place finish for the first two wheel drive car, the 1987 Extreme Rallying Mazda RX-7 turbo Production GT class winners Greg Lingelbach and Steve Andrews were fourth overall in the Hollywood Sign Eagle Talon. Bob and Tammy Reaves were fifth in the I 972 Sommerset Auto Glass Mazda RX-3, ten seconds ahead of the Group 2 class winners, Nate Tennis and Amity Trowbridge in the Group N Performance Saab 99. The second Production GT car, the Eagle Talon of Jack Broadhead and Jim Jump, was seventh, followed b_y the second Group 2 Californians Mike and Paula Gibeault handed the water crossings to take the production class win. Nate Tennis and Amity Trowbridge pushed the Tree Tamer's Saab 99 to win both group 2 class titles. finisher, the Tree Tamers Volkswagen Golf GTI driven by Nat T-Stow and Aaron Montgomery. The newest car in the field, the 2000 Volkswagen Golf of Jeff Call and Rick Meade, finished ninth, with Gary Cavett and Clinton Holter I 0th in the K&N Filters Subaru RX turbo. The Production class winners, Mike Gibeault and Steve Mendez finished 11th in the All Imported Auto Volkswagen Jetta. Scattered showers provided a variety of road conditions for the Dryad Quest. The friendly Simpson Timber Company forest roads tend to be cut flat with no crown and shallow ditches for drainage. Water collects in the low spots and cutting comers can result in some serious water crossing. With the weather stuck in a wash-dry cycle, the slippery conditions resulted in a number of adventures for competitors. Kevin Pennington and Janice Damitio splashed to the overall wins in the Shitepoke There were six DNFs from the 24 starters including early leader Mike Mailman and D.J. Flagg in an Audi Coupe Quattro. Mailman was fastest on Stage 1 and in the lead after 2, but he slipped off coming out of the hairpin at "pee comer" on Stage 3 and clipped a stump. The stump was totaled, but the Audi survived with front-end damage. Paul Eklund and John Allen also came to grief on that 20 mile long third stage when the Primitive Racing Subaru Impreza suffered motor miseries.

News 1=,01nThe Diretto, This year's Gorman Ridge Club Rally was held August 19th in Frazier Park, CA. The weekend turned out to be less than scorching for the competitors as 18 teams took to the course set up by Har-ris Done, Ray Hocker, Larry Scott and Leon Styles. The lower entry was due partially to the fact that a national event was being held one week later and any west coast teams attending that had to leave for M•innesota. Tony · Chavez and Eddie Cardenas took the overall win this year. He has finally shaken the Gorman bug, which has always kept him from a win previously. Congratulations! The stages in Hungry Val-ley Off Highway Park were fast and smooth as usual. The Robins.on family Mazda was out first with a broken c.v. Oh well, can't finish them all. Anton Musev and John Dillon were out on Stage 2 with a roll-over. Anton and John won this event last year but luck was not with them this year. However, it gave John extra time with Donna, his wife of one week. The MG of Kenneth Wheeler had electrical prob-lems and they could not get it to restart at service. Too bad as this team had a great season start at Rim of the World.. . Rui Brasil was having problems as well and finally withdrew. That left Tony Chavez, Paul Timmerman nd Lauchlin O'Sullivan to duke it out in the Open class. Tony came into the Lake Hughes service on two cylin-NEVADA JAC:KPOT$ JULY 8-:J.5 NEVADA 2000 :I.ST CL :J.O ~YER.S DR.OS TOYOTA.

Then he failed to get all of the bolts in the driving light mount so he raced back down the ridge with bouncing lights. Boy, if that doesn't make you car-sick I don't know what would. Lauchlin O'Sullivan rari his M&M Motorsport Eclipse to a close second place overall behind Tony. All Tony had to do was hic-cup and Lauchlin would have taken the win. It was really fun to watch. Mark Brown and Mike Gi-beault sliced and diced in the Performance Stock class along with Bradney Boll. In the end Mark beat Mike but only after borrowing Mike's spare wheel and tire to get back to the finish line. Bradney managed to keep all four ties on the ground this year removing his previous Gorman jinx. Patrick Rodi finished in the Best Rest Inn parking lot on a rim, as he had no more spares to put on his car. Ap-parently his front strut was bent and had rubbed the tire causing a flat. Then it flat-ted the spare he put on, so he drove it on the rim. Richard Byford and his wife Fran had a great finish in Group 2/5, first in class. They have the BMW 2002 really humming. John Shults and Don Shreyer made a big run in the. RX3 despite los-ing their terratrip early in the day. Who needs an odo, right Don?! Nick T aylor took the win in Stock class which makes up for his roll-over at Rim this year. Pete Morris was in the co-driver's seat. Paul and· S usie Timmerman finished third overall in the rally which moves them up to seed 2. They took an interesting ex-cursion at the end of the rally and went touring the Old Rim Road before they turned around and headed the cor-rect way back to the hotel. Fran and Richard Byford fol-lowed their example. You can tell how tired some crews are by their turning left in-stead of right to get back to i:he highway.

Gorman was no ex-ception. However, this time he got out on part of the course after we had run through and promptly got lost and down a hill his trusty Nissan Xterra couldn't get back up. Mike Gibeault went out to rescue him with sev-eral other people. First they ripped the front kangaroo catcher off. Ended up with a four wheel drive pulling and three guys on the back bumper of the Xterra for traction. However, as they bounded up the waterbars hanging onto the roof rack Mike noticed he was getting two feet of air off some of the bumps. At some point the roof rack let go depo·siting everyone on the ground all screaming "Keep Going!" John Dillon and his new wife, Donna, showed up to help with registration one week after their wedding. A cake and champagne was presented to them Friday night to celebrate their mar-riage, since most of us missed the wedding. Many happy re-turns. The CRS raffle is off to a roaring start. Chad DiMarco and Sube Sports has donated a Cobra Monaco racing seat. Leon Styles has donated four $50 gift certificates to his Tombstone Paintball Park. Again this year we have rally entries, rally cross entries, t-shirts and some Hollywood Blonde beer donated by Paul Timmerman1s sponsor. Leon Styles has also do-nated 41,000 to the Treeline Rally which will be held on November 18th this year. This money will be used as a prize fund for the CRS classes. Thank you so much Leon! Don't forget Treeline's date has been changed to avoid hunting season. How-ever, it could have been kind of sporting to put antlers on the slow cars and see how many bullet holes were in them by the finish of the rally. The Prescott Forest Rally is shaping up to be a really good event this year under the new management of Bill Barfoot and Steve Westwood. The two day for-mat has returned and new roads are likely this year. This rally is on the SCCA ProRally schedule, which means all the "Big Guns" will be there. Plan on attending this rally September 29th and 30th. The Prescottonian is the host hotel. If you are not competing, please plan on volunteering or spectating. Also the Laughlin RaJly has moved its date to Decem-ber 15-1 7th. This is going to be an exciting year for the Laughlin Rally as Mitsubishi has come on as a sponsor. Congratulations Ray and Roger. The second Rally School for the season is scheduled · for October 29th and a rally cross on October 30th. Con-tact Ray Hocker for more in-formation (750) 375-3289. Challenger corner By Joel Mohr SCOER PRIMM 300: Eight cars went to Stateline for the fourth race of the Score season to try and straighten out the points battle. The 9's were required to run three 70 odd mile loops, and Mike Beasley was the only one to make it all the way around. At the end of the first lap Cisco Bio, Eric Fisher and Bill Rodriguez were tied together for the lead with Hector Sarabia, Dave Caspino, Matt Cun-ningham, and Arturo Velazco all running a healthy pace. After two laps the "Front 3" extended their lead, and everyone else seemed to have problems. At the finish, Cisco Bio won the battle, but by only three min-utes over Eric Fisher who claimed he lost second gear on the last lap. Hector Sarabia was only another three minutes back, appar-ently suffering from the "My motor is going away" blues. Bill Rodrigue·z was only an-other two minutes back after having his coil wire come off on the last lap. Now that's what I call racing! Having the first four c ars finish within eight minutes of each other after almost -300 miles! AH, the good 'ol days! Dave Caspino came in fifth, and the Dyn amic Duo of Mark Bunderson and Matt Cun-ningham finished sixth (most likely suffering mechanical problems) and Arturo Velazco got in only one lap. It's good to see the finish ra-tio break up there, 78%. Good job guys! The next Score race is the 2000, and it will be interesting to see how many make the distance. Collins had problems. Hayosh slipped into third place, and on Lap 4, suffered something terminal. Stevens moved out to a commanding ·lead, and MacDonald "thought" they had the fuel pickup problem fixed. Collins got back on the road after lengthy repairs, and was run-ning third. On Lap 5, Stevens had the cruise control on un-til his crew informed him that "Mohr's coming up fast!" Apparently they lost track of me when we were down, and didn't realize that I was a lap down. Gary thought twice, and realized that he had five miles to go and no worries. I passed him to unlap myself and hopefully make the cut off time with one more lap to do. Team MacDonald, in their first race, was still fighting the pickup problem, but made it in for second place. That left us and Collins, with Collins suffering some kind of termi-nal failure on the last lap. We Dusty Times -f

were still running strong, got the checkered flag, but missed the cutoff by two min-utes. Yeah, two minutes. At least we did all of the miles. Congrats to Gary Stevens and crew, it must feel good to have your first finish of the year be a win. Stevens' win jumped him to second in the points and two races to go. Should be interesting ... RUMOR MILL: I got a call from Forest Creasy and he plans to put up some BIG cash next ye_ar to try and get more 9's up to the VORRA races. Sponsored by Creasy Investments, $10,000 will be up for grabs. Yet to be deter-mined is how it will be di-vided amongst the short course and desert races. I've heard of several new cars be-ing built, and next year looks to be interesting already. The Defrank car was bought by Tom Steeno, and already given a face lift. The Walters should show up any race now, and MOR CALIFORNIA 200 NIGHT RACE: Five 33 mile Barstow loops in the dark was the flavor of the day and un-fortunately, this race was held the same day as the Score race. Only five Chal-lengers started, and second, third and fourth in the points all decided to do something else. Oh well, maybe they thought the game was over. NOT SO! The night race completely changed things because of the strange turn of events ... Read On ... I was running a borrowed car. (thanks to Robert Otwell),. and was just hoping for a fin-ish. At the end of Lap 1, we set fast lap, but Wayne Col-lins was only a minute back. · Rob MacDonald was third, and Gary Stevens was on his bumper. Tim Hayosh was a bit off of the pace, but run-ning strong. On Lap 2 the almighty desert blender mixed things up, just to keep it interesting. We had about a six minute lead, when at about the 18 mile marker, the motor died like I'd run out of gas. Obviously, lack of fuel wasn't the problem, so I got out to investigate. It seemed the fuel pump took a crap, so I called my trusty "Chaser Dude" to bring out another one. Another friend of mine was also chasing for me so I called him for backup. Mile 18 was right in the worst possible spot, and they both got lost in the darkness trying to find me. Long story short, a piece in-side of the carburetor had come apart, and blocked the main jet feed orifice. We got it fixed, but we lost 2-1/2 hours. Meanwhile, there was a battle ON the course, and at the end of Lap 2, Wayne Collins had his mirrors full of Gary Stevens. Rob MacDonald was having a fuel pickup problem, and Tim Hayosh picked up the pace a little. At the end of three laps, Stevens took the lead, and MacDonald moved into second, after Eric Burfields new car is almost dialed in. -I'm told the Schank brothers will be back, and in a re-cently acquired single seater. Dan Folts will be running MDR next year, looking for a "Rookie of the Year" title. If you've got any juicy tidbits, call me at 760-947-6647, or e-mail me at MOHRPRF@JUNO.COM. SEE YOU AT THE RACES!!! .-r~ II CHECKERS W AHZOO Dennis Miller and I flipped a coin recently ... one of us was going to join Monday Night Football commentary on TV, while the other one of us got to come out of re-tirement and jump start the Wahzoo column. The results are obvious, so here I am, the new and improved anony-mous Checkers personality. Let's get one thing straight, there will be no more snivel-ing! If the situation in this forum warrants it, there will be some ass-chewing on de-serving individuals, but never to the detriment of the Checkers as a club. I will continue to monitor our of-ficial website (www.checkersoffroad.org), and I will respond. By the way, all the grumbling and sniveling directed at the Wahzoo over the past few months on the web has been forgotten. We're starting with a clean slate here, no more pissing and moaning! Hey, Lou! The real Wahzoo is NOT history! He's been on vacation, and he's back!! Being on vacation since July of last year has been great, but also fraught with some letdowns. The one that comes to mind is the past several months absence of the Wahzoo's words of wis-dom in the Checkers column. I'd like to thank the cast of roving characters who, on occasion, have filled in. It will be my goal to return to the sometimes funny, some-times brutal, but always en-tertaining monthly reports you've all been used to read-ing. Speaking of that, someone needs to tell BFG's Dan Newsome that it is quite all right to start reading this col-umn again. The only problem is that he really ought to join us in membership. Mickey Thompson tried to once or twice, but couldn't complete the meeting attendance re-quirements, no matter how hard Kassanyi tried to make that happen! Anyway, Newsome had always been one of the best supporters of the Checkers_, which prompts the question, is Gentilozzi & Company's hospitality any better than that of Checken,? I suspect that Newsome's turn in the barrel has just begun. Getting back to the other name in the previous para-graph, has anyone seen or One entry for each 25 gallons of 76 100 or 110 Octane Racing Gasollne purchased troni Cl Bryant or an authorized distributor from Jan. 1, 2000 through October 31, 20001 Win Free 76 Racing Gasoline (up to 250 gallonL) To Enter: Send )Qur proof of purchase, along with Name, Address, and Phone to: heard from Steve Kassanyi! The last we heard, he was competing with Walter . Prince, doing business in the Coachella Valley, and spend-ing time at his new place on the beach in the Baja. He re-ally ought to show up at a race now and then. Speaking of races, and the Baja, the very unique Baja 2000 is just around the cor-ner, and El Presidente has been busy with accumulating a ton of good stuff to raffle off at the weekly meetings. The purpose of the raffles is to raise serious dollars to pay for the club's pit support ac-tivities in this most difficult 1754 mile race down the pen-insula from Ensenada to Caba San Lucas. The Check-ers will be. providing pit sup-. port for members only, rather · than co-op'ing with another organ-ization as has been done in the past. Gutsy move, El Presidente ! But then, I would expect nothing less from a group of men who claim to eat their dead! Speaking of this mammoth effort that will be the Baja 2000, 1 wonder how Sal Fish is holding up. He's got to be busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. Go back about ten years ... Kassanyi left SCORE after nearly six years tenure due to chest pains from the stress of it all. He was replaced by nephew Paul and two other guys. Segue to a year or so later, Paul has some sort of heart attack, but comes back for more until just recently when we heard that Paul had• had enough. In the mean-time, we learned that Sal had valve replacement heart sur-gery about the same time Kassanyi had quadruple by-pass surgery. Paul has not yet, to our knowledge, been replaced, but (fanfare please) enter Bill Wick, chief h_oncho for the officials group who do the vital grunt work at the races. Bill is just about the best guy in the business, and brings mucho talent and experience to the table. Authorized Distributors -Southern California, call: However, Bill is volunteering his time for what used to be a paid slot, and he also is a member of the heart surgery club. There is a lot to do and organize for a race of this magnitude, and Sal has got to be running ragged. I wonder why he's not come to the Checkers asking for some help ... maybe Kassanyi could have been coaxed out of re-tirement. On to other matters. Hey, Dick McCool! Part of the job you accepted by becoming the club's official historian is to feed the mayonnaise jar. at the clubhouse with tasty tid-bits from the archives. The W ahzoo needs your help with this in order to verbally flog those who deserve it. O.K.? Hey, Walter Prince! The same goes for you with short takes from the Tierre del Fuego expeditions and the 2.2 pound potato chip com-partment days. There have been some good things happening the past few months which we need to recognize. Vance Scott dedicated himself to riding a Billy Robertson-do-nated Honda Valkyrie from the West Coast to Washing-ton, D.C., arriving on Memo-rial Day at the Pentagon along with 200,000 of his fel-low veterans, then going on to the Vietnam War Memo-rial on a ride called (appro-priately) the Run To The Wall. Unbeknownst to the world at large, the Checkers membership contains quite a few Veterans of Foreign Wars survivors. Hats off to ya, Brother Vance' I understand that brother Mike Alt proposed an idea to the dub which met with re-sounding approval. It seems that in the near future as you're driving up I-15 on your way to Barstow and be-yond, you'll encounter one of those blue Adopt-A-High-wa·y Signs -at Hodge Road which will be adorned with our Checkers logo.

--keeping that part of the desert roadway clean, and all it takes is for our members to pitch in four times a year in this effort. Remember, one man's trash is another man's treasure ... I personally have an item in my collection that _I picked up as having been discarded at a time when Marty . Letner . ruled the desert. The good news is that pit-point-shy members can earn some of those points by taking a few hours of a day to participate. The Checkers will be par-ticipating in a high profile event this month, the Off · Road Expo 2000 held at Pomona Fairgrounds the 7th and 8th. Booth space has been acquired and we will have at least two wayfine race cars on display, one of them our champion George Seeley's, the other a surprise TBA.'ln addition, we'll have a fund-raising raffle of a great generator, as well as special occasion T-shirts on sale to fatten the coffers of pit sup-port expenses for the Baja 2000. If you have last minute items to contribute for the raffles, contact brothers Randy Sparr and Mike Alt. Maximum turnout and maxi-mum participation are hereby recommended. Wear a clean shirt, and be civil with the public! Profanity should be kept to a minimum, and ladies quests for a restroom need to be referred to the booth of your choice. The Checkers' summer party at the home of Cantil Flash in the pucker bushes was a resounding success . We understand that Peter Rosenstein was the undis-puted underall winner of the belly-flopping competition in the Peralta Pool. Charley Tuna's consummate ashes nearby would have been smiling ... I seem to have run out of material for this first renewal of a proud tradition, so I'll close with the usual caveat: The Checkers are a unique collection of men who have been identified for a long time as a "Few Good Men", we welcome and love our la-dies, but not at our meetings. If this makes us chauvinistic, so be it1 Twenty-five years of excellence in our deserts have earned us that right, where we achieve a delicate balance of keeping our ladies happy and motivated. Nuff said! Keep th~ pedal to the metal, cage side up, and re-member that God put trees in the desert for those times when you don't have good brakes. See ya next month! c.a.R.E. Pit Report By Sandy Parker M.O.R.E. FREEDOM 250 More was able to pick up the abandoned SCORE Fireworks race date and rename it the Freedom 250. Jim wanted to bring back the history of the old Fireworks days with an afternoon start and racing into the night. This was a very fun and enjoyable race with the Tech Saturday morning and the race starting in the late afternoon and running into the night. The course was marked great, was a very fun . course, and in typical MORE tradition_, started ri_ght on time. RACE REPORTS TEAM SMITH/DEPEW (Sportsman ) Paul Smith and Bob Depew teamed up to ride Paul's Class 11 in the Sportsman class. These guys had a great time and had everybody at the CORE meeting rolling on the floor while they explained their PIKES service center Baker, California Celebrating 50 YEARS OF SERVICE TO OUR TRAVELING FRIENDS ••• THANKS! RESTAURANT Open 24 Hours Mobil® SERVICE Every Day Year Round THE BEST IN THE DESERT! Page so race. The day started out as a small relative of mine, washed Paul's windshield with an oil based bug cleaner which made the windshield look like a large dirt clod inside and outside by the first checkpoint. They pulled into a CORE pit and got the full service including clean windows. Half way thru the race, the rear trailing arm shock mount broke off so they pulled into a CORE pit and removed the shock so they could hobble the car 20 miles to Main. At Main the guys totally fabricated a new lower shock mount and got. them running again. Something in the wiring was shorting out which caused the horn to honk with every hole they hit. After about 50,000 honks, they pulled into the main pit and screamed at us to cut the entire front end of the car off just as long as you shut up that stupid horn (highly edited for family type vocabulary purposes). Headed in on their last lap, Bob was getting very tired of the beating so when Paul asked him how much time until the cut off time, Bob replied four minutes (when they actually had 40). Like the movie number 53, Paul sent Herbie flying the last 20 miles. Even in the nasty Barstow start and finish whoop section, he didn't lift as he flew by CORE Main at 50 mph, a good four feet above the course. The guys posted four very consistent laps which earned them first place in the Sportsman class. Excellent job guys!!! TEAM STAFF/CRAIG (Challenger) After a problem plagued last race, Rob and Todd were ready to get back on top again. Todd started the race and worked up a huge six minute lead on the first lap. On his second lap, Todd blew a front shock, pulled into a CORE pit to get it changed. After three laps, Todd handed the car to Robb with a 12 minute lead. Rob was flying the car when another shock exploded. They pulled into another CORE pit and borrowed a shock from Gary Stevens. Back on the course, his crew instructed him to step on it as second place Proctors heard about the shock problems and got a sniff of a possible win. Rod didn't let that happen as he got back on the course and held his lead. The guys won the race and collected$ 1300 for a seven car field and a number of class fast laps. Congratulations guys!!! TEAM PROCTOR/ LOPEZ (Challenger) B.J. Proctor and Brian Lopez teamed up again in the Proctor family Challenger. Brian started the race with Jonathan Himmelrick riding the entire race again. They had a flawless three laps, keeping the car n ear the front. On the start of La p 4 , they pitted a t CORE M ain for a driver change and fuel. B.J . took over as driver and October 2000 drove the night laps. They had a handful of problems but the most worrisome one was the slipping clutch. They babied the clutch over the College hills and attempted to make up time on the fast part of the course. A front end inner bushing walked in which let the front wheel flop in and out about a n inch which gave the car a wicked handling problem. The ..:arburetor kept flooding out so they couldn't thrash the car in the rough. They felt they had a good chance of catching the leader but decided to play it conservative and do their best to maintain a second place finish. They were successful in finishing second place in class. These guys are having a very consistent run•, this year, great run guys and congratulations on second place. TEAM McMULLIN/ CRAIG (10) Steve and wife Robyn had the car for the afternoon session, driving the first three laps with only a few problems. The throttle cable support on the engine worked. loose causing the throttle to stick wide open, OH FUN. The bolts on the brake caliper sheared off making the ride really wild. They handed the car to the father/son team of Tommy Jr. and Timmy Craig. They were slowed with problems every lap starting with a flat tire which was quickly changed at a CORE pit. They again broke the caliper bolts which stranded the car in a canyon. Their crew ran the bolts out to the car and got them back on the course. After all the problems, the team managed to get a third place finish out of it, great job of fighting for the finish. TEAM GIRDNER (Challenger) This race truly marks the changing of the guard in the Girdner racing history. Long time off road racer and Challenger veteran Dave Girdner gave it one last hurrah, bringing the old championship winning car for its last run. The game plan was to race it one last time and hand the car over to the grandkids. Everybody who knows Dave and his racing drive, wondered if this would actually happen, but I understand it did. As for the race, the senior Dave started and was to drive as long as he could. He managed to stay for two and a half laps, then handing the car over to .his grandson Davy. Davy drove the car a few laps with few problems until he blew a corner and rolled the car on the roof. He slithered out of the c a r and was quickly assisted by spectators who righte~ the car. Davy drove the car to the next CORE pit to top off the motor oil. A lap later, the left front spindle broke sendin g the m permanently to the pits and the ca r into retire ment. I unde rstan d t h e k ids a re constructing a new 2-1600, so the Girdner racing name will proudly live on. I h ave been blessed to be close to this family for many years and hope myself and CORE are able to keep a relationship with the next generation Girdner/Craig racing family. TEAM MALLOY ( 1600) Mike started and drove a consistent race only blowing one tire. He finished on second place, eight minutes back but was later handed the first place trophy. TEAM PARKER/ MOESSNER ( 1600) The second race for us in the 1600 class was fun, trouble free, and later shrouded in controversy. Tom Moessner started the race off the line and drove three very quick laps. With a very quick fuel stop and driver change, I drove the last three laps with no problems. Tom drove under a truck earlier in the day scobbing off my brand new nose lights, which left me with two worthless cowl fog lights to driver the dark laps with. Luckily, I really only needed lights the last half of the last lap, but was able to finish the race driving by Braille. We finished the race in ·first place, a full eight minutes over the second place Malloy car. The Malloy's crew noticed that my co-driver, Tom was off the marked course in the Barstow College hills, straightening out two S turns and some rough. After the race, we were notified by MORE Officials that if the times showed an advantage in this area, we would be penalized. At the a~;rd; presentation, MORE stated they were up all night investigating the checkpoint times and discussing the problem with a competition review board. They came to the conclusion that since there were no official eyewitnesses, no obvious clear advantage in this section in the point to point checkpoint times, and due to our six fast and consistent lap times and overall split time of eight minutes, we were awarded the first place check and trophy. After the race, I investigated the course and confirmed the course cutting area with the very credible Malloy eyewitnesses. For perception and reputation reasons, we volunteered to give the trophy and the check for $1200 back to MORE and asked that we be assessed with a penalty for out obvious course cutting. MORE then assessed a 15 minute time penalty dropping us back to second place. Please refer to Tom Moessner's letter in the August issue of Dusty Times for further explanation. TEAM INCH (1600) Brad was ready for war this night race. He went out and bought a pair of $8000 movie theater projection lights for the top of h is race car. The night before the race, I saw Brad and his guys roasting Dusty Times

Page 51

hot dogs off the race car front bumper with these flame thrower lights. Brad started the race and posted a very respectable problem free first lap getting the car into second place. The only event that slowed him down was smacking a large cacti that spun the car around. Shortly after the start on the second lap Brad launched the car which broke tlie sub axle when the car landed, sending the tire/wheel flying. Normally the tire will roll for miles and you never find it, but not with Brad's luck. The tire flew straight up in the air and landed directly on one of the $4000 lights. What seemed like roughly five minutes after the car came to a stop, Brad heard something hit the top of the car and saw a shower of glass fall over the hood. Brad assumed it must have been some wreckage shot down from the nearby Fort Irwin military base but cooled off when · he discovered it was smashed by his own tire and wheel. CORE Main delivered a new sub axle so Brad's car could be towed back home. TEAM COCKRELL (Challenger) The first race with CORE pit support, Robby Cockrell ' didn't have the day he had hoped. They unfortunately blew the motor up on the first lap putting them out of the race early. . CORE PIT SUPPORT CORE MAIN The Main Pit was headed. by the Malloys, Perry King and· Brad· Inch after the second lap. They fueled and assisted with driver changes for many cars and welded up Paul Smith's lower shock mount. CORE PIT BRA VO Darin McGuffin and crew ran the S tottard Wells crossing pit. They quickly changed a shock for Todd Craig in their Challenger and worked on the throttle cable for McMullin's car. CORE PIT CHARLEY The Wagners and friends changed a tire on the Malloy car and worked on carburetor problems on a non CORE car. CORE PIT DELTA The Lindsays. and the Girdner clean the Delta Pit at the Stottard Wells rock house. They changed another shock on the Stapp/ Craig Challenger, changed a tire for the Class 10 of McM ullin/Craig car, removed a shock from the Smith/Depew Sportsman, and made a few adjustments to the Girdner Challenger. CORE PIT ECHO Lex and Shash -Webb along with Gary, Kim and Kara Hall worked the inner Hodge Road Plateaux pit. They assisted a non CORE car by quickly rep_lacing a spindle. Searching for a professional family oriented pit support club? CORE is always happy to extend it's family and support.
